Cukes in a Blanket Recipe-March 2024
Mar 31, 2026 7:45 AM

  It can be a bit tricky to spread the cheese over the cucumber because the cucumber pieces are so moist. But this super-simple snack is more than worth the mini-challenge!

  

Ingredients

makes 2 servings

  1/3 English cucumber

  2 (3/4-ounce) Light Original Swiss Laughing Cow cheese wedges

  4 ounces thinly sliced or shaved extra-lean smoked deli turkey, preferably lower-sodium

  

Step 1

Cut the cucumber in half lengthwise. Cut each half in half lengthwise, creating 4 spears or wedges. Then spread half of one cheese wedge over one of the cut sides of one cucumber spear. Lay 1 ounce of turkey slices on a flat surface. Place a cucumber wedge at one end of the turkey. Roll the cucumber in the turkey to create a log. Repeat with the remaining cucumbers, cheese, and turkey. Serve immediately.
